# TLS / HTTPS (via Rustls)

## Usage

### Certificate

We put the self-signed certificate in this directory as an example
but your browser would complain that it isn't secure.
So we recommend to use [`mkcert`] to trust it. To use local CA, you should run:

```bash
mkcert -install
```

If you want to generate your own cert/private key file, then run:

```bash
mkcert 127.0.0.1 localhost
```

For `rsa` keys use `rsa_private_keys` function instead `pkcs8_private_keys`
```rs
let mut keys = pkcs8_private_keys(key_file).unwrap(); // pkcs8
let mut keys = rsa_private_keys(key_file).unwrap(); // rsa
```

### Running the Example Server

```bash
cd security/rustls
cargo run # (or ``cargo watch -x run``)
# Started http server: 127.0.0.1:8443
```

If you prefer reloading you can substitute `cargo watch -x run`.
That requires you install the `cargo-watch` crate.
